In short. Mistral Work can compare several supplied webpage URLs kept in one chat's context, subject to documented page access limits.
Definition: Yes. Mistral Work can receive several webpage URLs in one chat, keep the content from each page in context, and answer a follow-up that references or compares those pages.
Key facts
- Mistral says that you can paste several URLs in a single chat, with each page's content kept in context for follow-up questions. Mistral's web search and Open URL documentation describes this behavior.
- The documented example uses two competitor product pages and asks Work to compare their feature sets in a side-by-side comparison.
- Open URL requires Web Search to be enabled, then a URL and a question or instruction are pasted into the message box.
- Open URL fetches the single supplied page. Mistral says it does not crawl the entire site or follow links.
- Mistral's Work guide lists comparing two documents as an example task and says a first prompt should include the source material or tools Work should consider. The Work guide supplies that broader task context.
How does the comparison work?
The Open URL function brings web content into a Work chat. Mistral describes the sequence as enabling Web Search, pasting a URL with a question or instruction, and sending the message. Work fetches the page and uses its content to answer. The response shows a link icon and an Opened Page mention when Work has read the page content.
For several pages, the same documentation says to paste several URLs in one chat. Work keeps the content from each page in context, which lets a later question refer to the supplied pages or compare them. Mistral's example is a comparison of two competitor product pages:
Compare the feature sets described on these two pages.
The example makes the requested operation a comparison of information described on the supplied pages. It does not describe a site-wide crawl or a separate indexing step.
What does “retained as task context” mean here?
The documentation places the pages in the context of one Work chat. The phrase “in context” supports follow-up questions about the pages after they are supplied. Mistral's Work guide describes Work as a mode that gathers context, breaks a task into steps, and calls the tools needed for the task. It also lists Web search and Open URL as capabilities for public information or for asking Work to read a specific web page.
The guide's prompt examples include “Compare these two documents and highlight the main differences.” That example supports a document comparison task, while the Open URL page specifies that several supplied URLs can provide the page content for such a comparison.
What are the access limits?
The Open URL documentation states that each supplied URL is fetched as a single page. Work does not crawl the entire site or follow links from that page. Pages behind a login or paywall cannot be accessed through this function, and Mistral says that some highly interactive websites may load incompletely.
Mistral's page uses the word “several” and illustrates the feature with two pages. It does not publish a numeric maximum for the number of URLs in one chat. If a comparison depends on content that the page exposes only after interaction, the documented incomplete-loading limitation applies.

FAQ
Can Mistral Work compare three or more supplied URLs?
The documentation says that several URLs can be pasted in a single chat and that the content from each page remains in context. It gives a two-page example but does not state a numeric maximum.
Does supplying several URLs make Work crawl a whole website?
No. Mistral documents Open URL as fetching the single page at each supplied URL, without crawling the entire site or following links.
What must be enabled before supplying URLs?
Web Search must be enabled from the chat window's Tools menu. Mistral says that without Web Search, Work cannot browse the web.
Can the supplied URLs point to online files?
Yes. Mistral says Open URL also works with links to online files such as PDFs and documents, which Work fetches and uses as context.
